CLUNES AGRICULTURAL SHOW 2011
Clunes Agricultural Show will be from Friday the 18th to Saturday the 19th of November. It is an over night show, we will need for that matter a female parent to attend. Clunes is a small show however there are many sheep there, with Loddon Park and Ballarat Grammar generally attending in the Corriedale Section. It is a great Show to finish off the year. To celbrate the year we will eat out at a Bistro in Creswick. Accommodation will be in twin rooms at the University of Melbourne Creswick Campus.
PLEASE NOTE: Y10 & Y11 Exams begin on Friday the 18th, we will be leaving school late in the day however you will have to check with exam staff if you wish to attend the show. I assume the Y10 English Exam will be Friday morning, you should not miss this exam as we will leave at 1:00pm (but will wait a bit if necessary). However you may miss the afternoon examination.

Please if you are interested in attending place your expression of interest in the place provided:
